Martial Arts Master: The Lin Family Sword God, who swept through the Five Mountains and Four Sects

Its origins have long been lost to the annals of time, existing long before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The "War God's Record" is engraved within the War God's Temple, an ancient sanctuary that exists in its own world. It is surrounded by exotic flowers and rare herbs, all things extinct in the outside world; the temple is vast and boundless, its dome adorned with stars reflecting the celestial orbits. Even more mysteriously, the War God's Temple can roam freely through the void, changing its location; only those destined to see it can, and those without fate, even if they search high and low, will never catch a glimpse of it in their entire lives.

All those fortunate enough to enter the Temple of the God of War and study the "War God's Manual," barring unforeseen circumstances, will invariably ascend to the realm of mythology. Guang Chengzi, Chuan Ying… all rose to prominence through this path. Such miraculous occurrences speak volumes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian pinched his fingertips, and the silver card shattered instantly. In an instant, a massive amount of information rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness like a torrent, surging endlessly for a full quarter of an hour.

Once his consciousness settled, he had already grasped the true meaning of the "War God's Record".

This technique is unlike anything else—it is neither a book, a painting, nor written data, but a catalog of forty-nine relief sculptures. At this moment, these forty-nine sculptures float silently in the depths of his consciousness, arranged like stars.

The Legendary Realm is divided into four levels, with each level corresponding to twelve illustrations. Comprehending the forty-eighth illustration signifies the completion of the Legendary Realm. As for the final illustration, named "Shattering the Void," once fully comprehended, one can leap directly into the Mythical Realm!

Even more astonishing is that the profound martial arts principles and mysteries of heaven and earth contained in the "War God's Manual" remain invaluable even after entering the mythical realm. This is why it was given a silver rank—legendary attack techniques should normally stop at orange, but this one transcends the norm.

Lin Tian had already perfected his understanding of the meaning of death and reached the peak of the Innate Realm. He could break through to the first legendary realm at any time. But now was clearly not the right time to break through.

He sheathed his sword and turned to walk towards Ma Yu and the others.

"Master, fellow disciples, I have dealt with all the Mongol soldiers. However, it is not advisable to stay in Zhongnan Mountain for long. I can handle five thousand men, but any more... I cannot withstand them." Lin Tian spoke, his tone calm but leaving no room for doubt.

Even if he were to reach the legendary realm, he would still be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when facing an army of tens of thousands.

Upon hearing the voice, Ma Yu snapped out of his shock and quickly nodded, "Alright! I will immediately arrange for my disciples to pack up the sect's scriptures, and we will set off for Lin'an tomorrow."

He knew perfectly well that today's events meant a complete breakdown in relations, forging a blood feud with the Mongols. Staying in Zhongnan Mountain would only lead to his death.

"Hmm." Lin Tian nodded slightly, without objecting.

Destroying the Mongol Empire? Absolutely impossible for him alone. Unless he reaches the Mythical Realm—and achieves Mythical status within five years? In this low-to-mid-level world of Divine Condor, that's utterly delusional.

To destroy the Mongol Yuan dynasty, the only option is to rely on the power of the Song dynasty. Moreover, he is the only son of Emperor Lizong of Song, so there's no harm in using him.

"By the way, Uncle Wang," Lin Tian said calmly, turning his gaze to Wang Chuyi beside him, "Last night, Zhao Zhijing tried to frame Miss Long of the Ancient Tomb Sect, but I saw through his scheme. He was cornered and dared to assassinate her, but I killed him. Please forgive him, Uncle."

Wang Chuyi was taken aback, then sighed softly, his expression somber: "I knew long ago that Zhijing was wicked, but I never expected him to have fallen to such a low level. Tian'er, there's no need to worry. You've cleansed the Quanzhen Sect of scum."

Lin Tian was taken aback...

Feeling guilty? When have I ever blamed myself?

"Master, fellow disciples, I have important matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

"Go ahead," Ma Yu waved his hand.

Behind Zhongnan Mountain, in front of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

"Miss Long, I have something important to tell you. Please come out and speak," Lin Tian called out loudly.

A moment later, a figure in white appeared quietly.

Xiaolongnu's eyes turned slightly cold as she glanced at him: "What is it?"

If it weren't for him, and it were any other member of the Quanzhen Sect challenging her here, even if she shouted herself hoarse, she wouldn't take a single step out of the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Because of me, Zhongnan Mountain may suffer a calamity. The Quanzhen Sect has decided to move the entire sect south to Lin'an, and hopes that Miss Long will accompany us."

"Are you done?" she asked in a flat tone, without a trace of emotion.

"That's all."

Xiaolongnu said nothing more, only glanced at him indifferently, turned and stepped into the ancient tomb. The stone door slowly closed, as silent as ever.

Um... what is this? Ignoring me? Or a direct rejection? Lin Tian knew perfectly well—Little Dragon Girl had no intention of going with him at all.

Are you kidding me!

To say that Lin Tian was already deeply in love with Xiaolongnu at this point would be pure nonsense. Falling in love after just one encounter? He wasn't that kind of saintly-hearted.

But that doesn't stop him from already considering Xiaolongnu one of his own. To abandon her to fend for herself in Zhongnan Mountain? Not even a thought.

"Miss Long, the calamity that Zhongnan Mountain is about to face is something even I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaolongnu ignored him completely, turned around and walked into the depths of the Tomb of the Living Dead, her skirt swaying lightly like an unpredictable breeze.

"..."

Reasoning with you is useless? Ha... You little brat, you think I can't do anything with you?

If soft methods don't work, then we'll use force! I'll force you out today, I'm going to carry you out no matter what!

With a flash, Lin Tian swiftly entered the tomb.

Just as he approached Xiaolongnu less than five steps away, Xiaolongnu suddenly turned around, her sleeves fluttering, and two snow-white silk ribbons emerged like snakes from their holes, instantly wrapping around Lin Tian's limbs. With a pull of her strength, she directly immobilized him in place.

Kidnapped?!

Wait…could she have this kind of taste? During the day? Even though this ancient tomb is pitch black, this is just too exciting…

While lost in thought—

A muffled rumble suddenly sounded behind them, "Boom—" like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

Lin Tian turned around abruptly and saw a huge rock slowly descending above the tomb entrance—the Dragon-Slaying Stone! The Ancient Tomb Sect's protective mechanism completely sealed off the exit in just a few breaths.

At the same time, Xiaolongnu gently waved her hand, and the ribbon loosened.

Lin Tian blinked and blurted out, "Miss Long, what are you doing?!"

Xiaolongnu looked at him quietly, her voice as cold as frost: "You have ruined my innocence. According to the rules of my Ancient Tomb Sect, I have only two choices: kill you, or you stay by my side for life. Your martial arts are too high. Even if I practice for another thirty years, I may not be able to kill you. Therefore, the best outcome is for you to stay."

She paused, her tone still calm: "The Dragon-Slaying Stone has fallen, and this place is now isolated from the world. The calamities outside will no longer affect this place. From now on, you will never leave."

After saying that, she turned to leave: "Come with me, I'll take you to your living quarters and practice area."

Lin Tian stood there stunned, then suddenly realized what was happening and his eyes widened: "Wait! You just walked in without saying a word, you were practically leading me in?!"

"Um."

Little Dragon Girl responded calmly and nodded in agreement.

Lin Tian froze on the spot.

Mr. Jin, get out here right now!! I swear I'll skin you alive!!

Where is the ethereal, innocent, and naive Little Dragon Girl we were promised? Is this the real person? Even I, a seasoned veteran of the martial world, have been fooled?!

This isn't an innocent little rabbit at all; it's clearly a scheming queen draped in a snowy veil!

I never expected this... I really never expected this...

Little Dragon Girl, Little Dragon Girl, so this is what you really are!

Indeed, she's naive and doesn't understand the wickedness of human nature, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. Incapable of even a little trick? You're kidding!

Lin Tian absolutely refused to admit that his intelligence had been crushed by an 18th-tier fairy.

No! We must turn the tide!
